I sincerely hope you all know that when I say "baby butch Jackie Taylor who died before he had a chance to realize/explore it" I'm not just pulling that out of my ass. Literally just look at the outfits she wears over the course of season 1.

Are they the most masculine things ever? No, of course not! But when you compare them to the outfits we see her wear before the crash, when they're still in Wiskayok?

It paints a very interesting picture.

*in the Rebellion inside Echo’s minivan ship*

Rebel, showing Echo some photos: Yeah these are my kids. A boy and a girl. I do this all for them. How many do you have?

Echo: I have five.

Rebel: Aw you must have your hands full! How old are they?

Echo: Four are 312 months and the youngest is 156 months.

Rebel: …

Echo: …

Rebel, trying to do the math: How old did you say you were again?

The media whenever Max says Oscar isn't a second driver:

"HE IS MANIPULATING OSCAR. HE'S PAYING MINDGAMES TO SABOTAGE MC'LAREN" ☠️👹😡😈

Max in reality:

"This is my yapping nerd child have I told you how amazing he is". I'm gonna brag about him to anyone like one of those overbearing soccer moms on Thursday practice. "I won't stand for this second driver slander this is my fxkin child we're talking about. I actually already singed the adoption paper's". Charles better not hear any of this or he'll singlehandedly destroy Mclaren.💅😇👨‍👨‍👦💕

🧡💙 (Yapping buddies) 💙🧡

thinking this labor day about all the athletes in women's sports who didn't have a stable league, who were only making decent money from a spot on their national team, who had to fight to get even a fraction of what they deserve. who spent their prime without a club league or the infrastructure to propel the sport. who came of age after title 9 in the usa [forcing schools to fund women/girls’ sports], the ones who fought for cbas and are only seeing big change at the end of their careers or after their careers concluded. who didn't have the media attention before, but are now showing just how much they can sell out stadiums and arenas. the players who played year round because overseas teams paid athletes what they were worth. athletes who endured and reported harassment but the league never took appropriate action. athletes who never had the media attention or ability to monetize their talent but who had careers that were just as impressive as the stars of today. who did it without the help of the science, technology, and medicine we have today. who set records with less support and fewer games in a season, which will be broken by kids who have had personal trainers since high school. athletes who played great games that are no long available to view, their talent no longer archived and accessible for young or new fans. athletes who still don't have a league or are just getting one in 2024. athletes who took it upon themselves to create change for which they will never reap the full rewards.

do you think pro-team Neil, Andrew, Matt etc would be hockey level famous or like football/basketball level famous for example, because no matter how good of a hockey player you are you can still live a relatively normal life and the best NHL player would still barely earn as much as a rookie NBA player, like what level of fame are we talking here?

Sometimes a soccer mom (who is only a soccer mom because her husband has decided to coach both kids, which equals practice 3 nights a week, 2 games on Saturdays, attending 3+ hour board meetings, and run tournaments/be in charge of things plus coach for money for a whole company on Sundays) doesn’t really want soccer mom merch for her birthday…. What a concept right?!?!?

TBH, I am wondering if soccer is his true calling, after all.

Say, (off the top of my head) compared to Isagi who watched Noel Noa growing up, loved football, and wanted to become a striker? or even Sae, who been playing soccer with the dream to go pro since young? Chigiri, Reo, even Ness? He was top in his games through school and that's why he wanted to try out at Basmun. iirc, except for Hiori, most of the blue lockers had a dream to pursue soccer as a profession, right?

But Kaiser picked up professional football, cuz, well .... that was the only way he could be bailed out of prison? He has been playing soccer only for the last 4 years. The way he describes his initial days at Basmun, it's as if only after hitting those guys, he got to know that soccer is a team sport of 11 players. Similar to Nagi, but Kaiser is still a bit different from Nagi,

Looking at his profile:

unlike Nagi, I imagine Kaiser would have opened himself to any kind of profession without external stimulus, as long as it earns him money. He wants to explore human behavior, connections and psychology. He seems interested in meeting new people (but, ofc, study them under the microscope and never open up to anyone himself)

and outside of his resident-nuisance mask, he seems more of a quiet observant introvert who likes reading books. Philosophy and psychology, yes; but I feel he likes reading anything with human characters; he wants to know more of other's thoughts and outlook of the world, and so.

Really.

He could have become anything if given a chance. Yes, his first "gift" to himself was his ball, and his only company throughout childhood. And yes, his 'identity' was born when his ball was attacked.

But this doesn't mean his calling was particularly for soccer.

Because. What arose in his heart atm was simply the desperate desire to 'protect' his only 'friend', his 'fellow piece of shit' from getting 'hurt'. Michael was used to getting abused, but the moment he saw his 'friend' might get hurt, he lost his shit. He would have reacted the same way if it was another toy, or for a younger sibling he doted on, or if he had a human friend whom he really adored.

(Of course, Kaiser being Kaiser, understood the birth of his identity differently, though.

He thinks he got his first impulse of pleasure from kicking the cops, and not from the instinct of 'protecting his friend'-- from despair of others, and not from love of his own heart)

but I digress.

What I am saying is that I can see him fitting in any kind of profession. Going to college? Becoming a writer? Method Acting? Lawyer? Heck, he can go to managerial heights in corporate and overthrow governments? Like anything!

Nothing in his profile reflects a strong calling for soccer in particular. Just an observation.

Gone too soon....

You would have loved carpooling to a soccer game...

[human-for-tonight]

tbh I think the biggest difference between watching women's hockey and women's soccer so far is that the soccer commentators are standing like 3 feet apart meanwhile the hockey commentators are practically sitting in each other's laps while gazing lovingly into each other's eyes

Some DCMK doodles I've been meaning to post for like a month now lol

ichigo amnesia fic. the angst potential is off the charts with this one. ichigo, in a freak (but very human) accident, loses all memories of being a shinigami, including the people he’s grown so close to. he returns to that default state of standoffishness, where the only people he’s willing to talk to are his family, Chad, Tatsuki, and his school friends. he can still see spirits — he’s always been able to, after all — but he’s never seen so many congregating in Karakura like this and it’s giving him the creeps. and they all look different, too, no chains on their chests, most of them dressed in black robes and the others in white with strange masks on their faces. and then one of them just — tries to murder him?? for no reason??

I just don't understand how we can have nearly four seasons of a show telling us (albeit badly) that high school drama doesn't matter, that both "jocks" AND "nerds/outsiders" have prejudices that they need to get over and somehow a vast majority of you seem to think that joining a sport is evil and only by being into nerd shit are you being truly authentic with yourself

England NT has a new curse.. make every game boring and make the other team boring.
